Live-in relationships not a negative thing, says Aditya Roy Kapoor

Aditya Roy Kapoor, who will be seen playing the lead role
in upcoming 'Ok Jaanu', thinks that live-in-relationships which are common these
days are not a negative thing.

'It is not about what is right or wrong. Live-in relationships
are common these days, that's why so many movies are being made on the subject.
Many of my friends are going through live-in relationships, some have worked
out and some didn't. But I don't feel it is a negative thing and marriage has
to do anything with it,' he said at the press conference on Saturday, ahead
of the film's release.

The film sees Aditya and Shraddha Kapoor as a young couple
in a live-in relationship in Mumbai while Naseeruddin Shah and Leela Samson
play an older couple who are their landlords.

'I don't think it is wrong if a couple who want to get married
get into a live-in relationship to know each other better,' he added.

Agreeing with her 'Aashiqui 2' co-star, Shraddha said: 'It
(the film) is an interesting take on live-in-relationship.'

But Aditya added: 'The film is not only about live-in-relationship.
'Ok Jaanu' is actually a love story. The couple just happens to be in a live-in.
We are not preaching about what is wrong or how modern we are. It has shown
the relationship respectfully.'

Directed by Shaad Ali, the romantic drama is releasing on January
13.
